The relative growth rates of zircon crystal faces are recorded by growth zoning, which is recognizable in cathodoluminescence photographs of oriented crystal sections. The kinematics of zircon growth is graphically presented by the slopes of “Grabahnen” between crystal sectors. The relative velocities of advance of crystal faces correlate to the pattern of growth zoning. Widely spaced zoning, interrupted by surfaces of dissolution, on the one hand, and narrowly spaced uninterrupted oscillatory…

Systematics of internal zircon morphology in major Variscan granitoid types
The internal morphologies of zircon crystals from different types of granitoids (alkaline, calcalkaline and anatectic) are revealed by cathodoluminescence imaging and are described in terms of growth…
Factors controlling the development of prism faces in granite zircons: a microprobe study
Based on microprobe work, we present arguments that the size relations of the two common prisms {100} and {110} of accessory granite zircons are strongly influenced by chemical factors. Magmatic…
